NJ. J. McRaith, the popular merchant
tailor, of Grand Rapids, was taking
orders among our citizens Saturday.
He says it is a real pleasure to be able
to visit live, stirring city on Saturday
evening and over the Sabbath, after
existing in hum drum country town
all the week.
We neglected to note one of the most
exciting incidents in the history of
HverydOm that occurred a week ago
Saturday, in our last issue.
On that day Chef Doud's livery team,
which had been sent to Dexterville to
meet the Green Bay train, broke loose
while at Dexterville and ran to this
place, distance of 5 miles, in little
less than 15 minutes, meeting several
teams on the way The wagon and
harness were somewhat racked, but the
team escaped without injury, and Mr..
Doud can congratulate himself that it
was not more serious.
Messrs. III. A. Webb and G. B. Car
man, of Grand Rapids, representing
the Federal Life Association, of Deven-
port. Iowa, are in the city this week
writing up policies.
The association was admitted to do
business in this state by special act of
the Legislature, last winter; our law
makers recognizing the many good
features that this association accords it's
members. The company is purely NUT
ual-having no stock holders-each
policy holder is entitled to his share of
all accumulations and has vote in the
management of affairs and in the cleo
ton of officers.
All funds are deposited direct with
the Auditor of the state of Iowa and
are held in trust by him as provided by
Chapter LXV, Section 8, laws of Iowa.
''In notes secured by mortgage on
unencumbered real estate in the state
of Iowa, not to exceed forty per cent of
the appraised value thereof exclusive
of Improvements, and shall deposit such
securities with the Auditor of state.n
Two styles of policies are used, one
the ordinary life and the other the
twenty year tontine. The membership
receiving all the profits from lapses and
interest accumulations, enables them to
carry policy at about one-half the
rates charged by level premium, or
stock companies The two gentlemen
are doing fine business here, having
written up twelve or fifteen policies on
some of our leading business men, who
appreciate the many advantages that
this association affords its members.
Further particulars can be obtained of
the above named gentlemen, or by

The Walters Dramatic Company in
Monte Cristo" drew out an immense
audience at the peoples Theater asst
evening, who enjoyed the performance
better than any given at the People,
during the present season. The play is
one in which James O'Niel has made
himself famous, and many who visited
the theater last evening expected to see
it performed in very poor manner, as
is generally the fate of all the best plays
of the day, but it is only fair to say they
were disappointed as the play was
staged excellently and acted as though
the company made speciality of play
ing it every evening. Mr.. Walters as
the Count de Monte Cristo" was
frequently greeted with prolonged
applause, while Miss Nellie Walters
shared the honors with him. They are
both strong characters and bore them
selves in a manner that filled the
audience with delight. The Walters
company is the strongest and best that
has appeared at the Peoples and it
may be a long time before another such
company will appear at this house.

Alexander MftchellSs Will

The Will of the late Alexander Mitch
ell has been read in the family, and
will be probated within few days,
exactly when is not known. The law
allows thirty days to elapse between
the death of the testator and the filing
of the will. Great interest is naturally
taken in the subject of the requests, as
is always the case, in regard to the dis
position of wealthy mans estate. A
gentleman who is known to be one of
the benefciaries of the will, and who
was present at the reading, furnished a
WISCONSIN reporter this morning with
the following list of requests to charita-
BILE and educational institutions in and
near Milwaukee which the document
contains:
Milwaukee Protestant Orphan Asylum. $4,000
Milwaukee Catholic Orphan Asylum. 5000
Milwaukee Hospital Passavant). ....... 10000
ST. Mary's Hospital (Catholic). .......... 5000
Young Mems Christian Association -. 10000
Nashotan House,. -..-....-............ 5,0OO
As will be noticed the above requests
aggregate $50, 900. Two of them-those
to Nashotah House and Racine College
go to Episcopalian institutions. Mr..
Mitchell was member of the Episcopal
church. The two requests noted aggre-
gate $4,000 A similar sum is divided
between two Catholic charities, and
$50, 900 is devised in equal amounts to
three undenominational Protestant in
stitutions.

were not checked until nearly $3.50, 600

ROUND HOUSE
To BE Built at Once.

Time and again the people of Dodge
City have been informed that the A., T..
& S. F. r. r. Co., intended building a
2S-stall round house at Dodge City. The
TIMES has stated SO repeatedly, but our
assertions have never been backed up the
company failing to do the work as an
nounced.
On Tuesday, there were in the city,
Vice President Smith, General Manager
Goddard, Superintendent Sands and Di-
vision Superintendent Nickerson These
gentlemen were viewing and consulting
together regarding some improvements
to be made in Dodge City. Vice Presi-
dent Smith gave Superintendent Sands
the order to commence the work of build
ing the round-house at once.
So we presume the move settles the
veXed question. Mr.. Smith stated that
the work on the round house ought to
have been commenced month ago,
With the new railroads soon to be in
Dodge City, and the work by the Santa
Fe railroad there will be boom that
will eclipse all of the ephemeral booms of
the past.

UNPRECEDENTED.
The Streets and Cellars Drenchod
With Water.

The heaviest rainfall for the same
length of time, ever known in this section,
was at this place on Thursday evening.
1t began raining about six O'Clock and
the rain descended in perfect deluge fol-
three hours. In some sections the rain
was accompanied with q heavy fall Of
hailstones. The signal service reports q
rainfall of is inches which is undoubt-
edly the largest we have any record of.
This unlocked overflow of water caused
considerable damage through the town.
In many of the Offices, barber shops and
other places of business in the Easements,
the water poured in and soon the rooms
were full nearly to their ceilings Whole
sections of sidewalks drifted here and
there, and when the waters receeded they
were left in the streets in all sorts of
shapes and positions.
1t is probable that the heaviest damage
was inflicted on the masonry recently
erected around the court house yard, rs
several sections of the wall were unable
to stand the pressure, and fell forward
into the streets in utter ruin.
The excavations for the new buildings
now in course of erection here were en-
tirely filled with water, and several days
will elapse before work can be resumed.
The drainage is so perfect here that on
the morning following the storm it was
perfectly dry under foot, and the only
signs of the recent storm. were the fresh
ness of the air and grass and foliage, the
wrecked sidewalks, and the numerous
force pumps in operation through the
cellar windows.
The rain equals the great rainfall of
June 80, 1879.

RAILROAD BONDS.

Kansas is extrav: giant in the voting of
bonds in aid to railroad enterprises; but
the legislature last winter curtailed the
liberal features of the old law. and
adopted a new law. The Sterling Ga
zette says of this new law:
The new railroad bond law, to be in
force after July first, is having the effect
to greatly increase the difficulties Of
voting bonds under the old law. as is be-
ing attempted in nearly every locality
where the limits of the old law has not
already been reached. Especially is it
so in townships where the population
consists largely of farmers. This is
mainly owing to the fact that railroads
will have to accept $4,000 instead of
$4,000 to the mile, of the peoples money,
if the calls for elections to vote them aid
are delayed until after July first. The
railroads are in big hurry just at this
time. but somehow the farmers do not
seem to be-
